Those small wheels, even upgraded to rollerblade quality, are pretty
useless.

My LS6 has a rollerblade wheel and works perfectly, so I don't quite
understand why you would think they are "useless".

I was gonna say the same thing - I had an LS4 which I upgraded to the
largest Rollerblade wheel I could fit (required a little field
modification to the tail skid, but nothing major). I operate mostly
from grass and/or gravel, and it worked great for takeoff and landing.
It was also fine for pushing short distances, though pushing backwards
isn't great.

My LS8 has the full pneumatic tailwheel, and it's certainly better, but
I'm not sure I'd spend big $$ for the mod.

My two cents.
